Any of these sound like you?
Disengage entirely during emotional conflict
Highly Independent or autonomous
Slow to connect with others on an emotional level
Tends to repress their emotions or avoid discussing them
Strong imagination or desire to learn and absorb information
Analytical and value quantifiable information
Easily hurt by criticism
Conflict-averse
Can appear to be easily irritated or impatient
Emotionally stable on the surface but in reality tends to repress their feelings
Not present in their reality - they often distract themselves with work, movies, or belongings to derive solace through material or tangible things rather than relationships
Struggles to respond well to others expressing their feelings because they get overwhelmed
Often struggles to plan long-term commitments
If majority of these are ‘yes’, congratulations you might have some core wounds from childhood subconsciously hijacking your adult life connections.
